It all started with "An Introduction to Design Thinking", First step was to get into partners, try not to go with someone you know really well. I know its ahh u have to get with my friends but that takes away from the meaning of the challenge. Once you are with your partner we start chatting about, wallets,purses. Ask questions like what don't you like about your wallet, funny stories, sketch a basic idea of what a wallet would look like if you were to design a brand new one for your partner. Once done your sketch interview your partner more in depth get more stories what they want what they don't like. Make notes and little tiny sketches get your brain thinking. About anything in a wallet your dream one. Insights are key man got them down. Put things they said in perspective, Make a design little chart put their name at the top, write down what they need in a wallet and what they want so you can see the must haves and the not so must haves! Based on all of your info sketch 8 different solutions that could possibly be your partners new wallet. Share with them your ideas figure out what your partner likes and dislikes of your drawings. With all of that info draw the master piece wallet! use with colour to get the full effect of working at a design partnership! Always lots a detail counts, Than the fun part! Make the wallet you have officially designed using almost anything! Lots of people made duct tape wallets I must say they are pretty nifty little things. I should defiantly invest in one of those. The different colours of duck tape and things. So you could get the best wallet ever! Learning how to make them thats a challenge all in its self!
My final design changed through every step! I am defiantly not the best drawer but through every step you have to take "ill be watching you" good song good song, Anyways it may seem boring at first but it gets more in depth and changing designs. One if my had nyan cat the other had trees very different thing very different design, If your design doesn't change than you have a problem
Where did i get stuck....welllll more like every step! thinking of re designing, colour choices, wording, questions everything!!
My A HA! Moment so very exciting I would say in the last step while I was building, I figured out what i couldn't do had to figure out a different method.
Empathy, I could relate to everything she said everything, losing it, its ugly, not enough space.
The physical design made it actually seem fun not oh another assignment it made us have something to actually look forward to something! get the creative juices flowing.
I got some good feedback and some bad. Criticism some good some bad, but thats things you need to improve!
A 2.0 version i would defiantly invest in duct tape wallets defiantly get some experience. Everyone likes those and there just so neat a whole world of them.
Improve my design process by putting more effort in it and making something a lot more, detailed and an over all better design.!!
Photos will be up momentarily!! :)
